Nokia, in an effort to gather interest on their upcoming X3 touchscreen + keypad phone, just made an Apple-like promo video. Unfortunately, they got Homer “one transition” Simpson to direct it. Also, it’s lens-flarey. [Business Insider]
And if you don’t remember what I’m talking about, here’s the dialogue from the episode where Homer keeps filming Flanders, complete with scene with his enormous blurred out junk.
Lisa: OK, I finished editing the gardening sequence. . .
Homer: OK, from here we star wipe to a glamour shot of Flanders paying his bills, then we star wipe to Flanders brushing his teeth…
Lisa: Dad, there are other wipes besides star wipes..
Homer: Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?
Lisa: I’m taking my name off this thing.

you wanna add buttons put in a slide, but theres nothing new about a generic keypad with a small touchscreen.
